Description

Soundwalks are walking audio tours that use the cityscape as a backdrop for a fiction, like in a movie. The visitor downloads a Soundwalk on his iPhone, and takes a one-hour tour guided by the voice of an iconic figure from the city.

“Voted #1 Walking Tour”- New York Magazine

“Soundwalk Turns NYC Tourists into Natives”- ABC News

“The tours – narrated by locals and flavored with quotes and anecdotes from neighborhood characters – let you act natural and lead you into places most out-of-towners would be afraid to go.”- Time Out

“Soundwalk’s neighborhood-specific programs weave through both well-known haunts and off-the-map spots, giving listeners the inside dope on what makes an area tick.”- Village Voice

“What Soundwalk has to offer is amazing.The genuine idea is to engage a famous person (an actor or writer for instance) to talk about some neighborhood of the city so you could experience Paris beyond standard touristic offering. All this is followed by the unique sound track, plus there are custom maps with points of interest and walking directions — creating a fun and learning experience, as a result.”- IntoMobile

“A Soundwalk is a new and ingenious kind of audio walking tour, one that’s designed – through a sophisticated mix of ‘insider’ narrative, music, and sound effects – to provide a revitalized awareness of the NY neighborhood.”- NY Times

“Soundwalks – a hip series of audio walking tours – are like movies you can stroll through”- Time Magazine

A RENDEZ-VOUS IN LE MARAIS IN PARIS WITH ISILD LE BESCO

A hectic walk through Le Marais, narrated by Isild Le Besco, with an original soundtrack composed by Fred Avril. Looking for a mysterious object, Isild takes us from the ordinary places in Le Marais and introduces us to some of its residents, like Anémone and Mark Goodman.

Isild Le Besco has lost her walkman, a vintage object that she cherishes and contains a recording of a song she has to perform at an audition. With only a few hours until her audition, Isild takes us for a crazy race around Le Marais in search of her tape. No efforts are spared and every door is opened: from the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood to the gay sex-shop, from theaters and cafés to her own mother’s apartment door. Isild takes us from rue Vieille du Temple to Place des Vosges, across secret courtyards and hip bars.
